Impact of Distance on State University Enrolments: The Case for ÇOMÜ

Abstract

This study aims to explain the impact of distance on state university enrolments in Turkey, based on the case for Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University (ÇOMÜ), which has an extensive statistics regarding student background. We are able to explain 2/3 of the variation by using 3 highly statistically significant variables; i) distance to the college town (Çanakkale), ii) distance to the major cities and other nearby universities, iii) the number of students who pass the university entrance test. Further analysis also shows that a relatively significant gender disparity still persists, and distance is found to be much less effective on female students. Additional non-parametric data envelopment analysis also reveals that, compared to the predicted results, conservative and mostly landlocked provinces send far fewer students to ÇOMÜ while nearby provinces, Eastern Anatolia, and the Black Sea Region shows a much greater interest.
